The baby has only one tooth on top

Generally speaking, our teeth grow in a certain order. Especially for babies, you can find that teeth grow in pairs. That is to say, after a tooth grows on the top, another one will also grow on the bottom. But there are some special cases. Some parents found that their baby only had one tooth on the upper gum, but there was no sign of any tooth growth below. Is this normal?

Every baby's physique is different, so teething is also different. There is nothing abnormal about one tooth growing at a time.

As long as the normal number of teeth grow at the normal time, it is normal.

Those so-called two teeth that grow out together actually have a sequence, and they are not connected, so how can they grow out at the same time?

In some places, children who have single teeth are called "growing orphan teeth"! They have to ask their aunts to buy shoes and bowls for them.

Some people also say that if a baby's teeth grow one by one, it means that the baby has a bad temper.

Is it good for babies to grow teeth one by one? What is the meaning of single tooth growth?

1. Influenced by Genetics

The incorrect order of tooth growth is related to congenital heredity. For example, if one of the parents had teeth growing in the incorrect order when the baby was young, it may be a family inheritance, causing the baby's teeth to grow out in incorrect order. This does not have any other impact and is all normal.

2. Affected by oral inflammation

Some babies' teeth do not erupt in order. It may also be because the deciduous teeth growing in the front have developed symptoms such as gingivitis, stomatitis, etc., which prevent the teeth from growing normally and affect the order of tooth eruption. As long as the child's teeth are arranged neatly, there is no problem.

3. Affected gums

Some babies are more active. During the teething stage, they often like to touch their gums with their hands or push their gums with their tongue, or bite some hard objects with their teeth. When the gums are damaged, it will also affect the order of tooth growth, but ultimately it does not affect the arrangement of the teeth and no treatment is required.

1. Teeth erupting in order is just a general rule, but it is not uncommon for some babies to have their teeth grow in the wrong order. As long as the quality of the teeth is good, it does not matter.

2. The order of teeth eruption is incorrect. This is related to congenital heredity, and may also be caused by calcium deficiency in the baby. Go to the hospital to check whether there is calcium deficiency and supplement calcium according to the doctor's advice.

3. When the baby's teeth erupt, the mother should pay special attention to the baby's oral hygiene. Drink a few sips of boiled water after feeding or eating other complementary foods to rinse out the food residues in the mouth. Never let your baby fall asleep with a bottle containing milk or other food.
